Chapter 10 Other Convenient Functions

Re-assigning Program Change Numbers in the Order of Patches

If you have repeatedly changed the original settings of
patches and re-written them to different memory locations,
or have otherwise reordered the patches, the Program
Change numbers "(MIDI [PC])" assigned to the patches no
longer correspond to their actual order.
If you want the fixed reception program change numbers to
once again correspond to the patch numbers starting at the
first patch, use the following procedure to reassign the
transmission program change numbers (to the factory
settings) starting at the first patch.
* Please note that performing this operation causes all prior
"MIDI [PC]" settings for the patches to be lost.

Terminating Transmission of the MIDI Controller No. 7 (Volume)

Control Change No. 7 is used not only for sending changes
from the GK-2A's volume knob, but also for sending data
from its "SYNTH - MIX - GUITAR" selector switch. You may
occasionally encounter a MIDI-capable effects processor that
cannot be set to ignore Control Change No. 7 volume control
messages.
If this occurs, it will require your attention, because when the
GR-33 has been connected via MIDI cables to an external
effects processor—for the processing of guitar sounds and

* Patch Change messages are sent

3. Turn [VALUE] to select "PC Number."
4. Press [WRITE].
The message "Sure ?" appears, asking you to confirm
that you want to perform the Factory Reset operation.

5. To perform the operation, press [WRITE] again.
"Now Writing..." appears in the display. In a moment,
the GR-33 automatically returns to Play mode,
completing the factory Reset.
The patches' Program Change numbers are re-assigned
in sequence starting from the first patch (1, 2, 3,..., 127,
128). (All Control Change No. 0 (MIDI[CC0]) and No. 32
(MIDI[CC32]) values are returned to "0" for the sending
of Bank Select messages for user patches.)
To cancel the operation, press any button other than
[WRITE].
MIDI control of the external effects—setting the selector
switch on the GK-2A to "GUITAR" may mute the guitar
sound, not just the synth sound.
When using the GR-33 in combination with a processor that
cannot block out Control Change No. 7 messages, follow the
steps below to prevent the GR-33 from sending this type of
data.
